1992 Mercedes-Benz 500 SL: Rocky and his more distinguished family members
There is little doubt that the Mercedes SL R129 is on its way to become a true classic. When it came out in 1989, it clearly pushed technological boundaries, it was born with a classic design and, last not least, it simply is a Mercedes SL. Legendary designer Bruno Sacco, head of Mercedes-Benz design from 1975 until 1999 (over 20 years, can you imagine this in today’s short-lived times?), referred to the R129 as “the most perfect car in my career”. The most perfect car of my career! Bruno Sacco, former head of Mercedes-Benz design, about the R129 However, as is often the case, not
1989 BMW 750i (E32): Buying back a piece of childhood memories

I view this story as a contribution to contemporary automotive history, just like the story of your dad’s cars may be, too. Ready to get started? Let’s jump back to the year 1964.
1999 Jaguar XJ8 Sovereign 4.0: This Jag belongs to the family since day 1!
If you read the very first car story on Tomorrows-Classics.net a few months back, then you know how much I fancy the Jaguar XJ8 (“X308” model). It is the last Jag that has the cool yet classy, stylish looks of a Jag and combines it with fairly modern engine and suspension technology. However, this story isn’t about the X308 model in general. It is about a specific Jaguar XJ8 Sovereign 4.0 that really belongs to the family. And it didn’t join the family recently – this Jag has been a part of the family since day 1, when dad had bought it. I inherited this
